LeBron James says Cavs have only had a full team for one game

LeBron James admitted that the Cleveland Cavaliers were up against it with their rash of injuries following Sunday night’s loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

But the recent injury struggles aren’t new. The Cavs have struggled all season long with health, beginning with LeBron James injuring his ankle in training camp and Isaiah Thomas rehabbing his hip injury.

According to James, the Cavs have only had a full complement for one game this season.

“I just want us to get healthy, that’s all that matters to me. The standings it is what it is. We 67 games in, we’ve probably yet to have a full team,” James said. “I think the time we played at home vs. Portland when IT first came back. That was the first time we’ve had a full team. Then the next game when he couldn’t play in back to backs we went back to not having a full team, we had some injuries happen and then we didn’t have a full team.”
